Tea and biscuits - brilliant!

Jammy Dodgers, McVities Digestives or those ones with chocolate and orange jam... I can't remember the name... help anyone? They were advertised by some Munchkin-lookalikes in the 70's...

Bahhhh... senile-dementia is such a sad... um... ummmm... thingy that you can have go wrong with your... um... ummmmmm.... the thing that was inside your skull before the internet took it over...

Anyways.... do you put the milk in the cup before your pour it?

Tea-bags or leaf?

Tetley or PC?

My Aunty Mary used to like lemon tea.

Darjeeling... medium hot... with a touch of garlic... Bahhh... this is Earl Grey!

By the way, if you fancy a cuppa while waiting to dock, start the Tea Maker before you engage the Docking Computer, because it won't work once the DC is running.

YUPPP!!!... That's the kiddies... I have seen them docking with a space-station more than once or twice...

They look strangely like a Cobra???

Alas I have forgotten how to upload an image to a BB apart from....

DON'T CLICK THIS - IT IS JUST AN EXAMPLE... "-Image-" DON'T CLICK THIS!!!

...and it seems I don't have a chance unless I have an account with "YourImageHostingSite" (yup I get that it's just an "anyname" site...) and there seems to be no way to post the screenshot on this site...

Please tell me I am missing something - apart from the top half of my thingy... it used to sit on top of my shoulders.... it now seems to be something I sit upon or speak out of!

Look at this thread for how to upload pictures and the like. But, yeah, you need be signed up to an image hosting site. But saying that it in not a hard thing to do.

And with regard to you missing something... (insert insulting joke here!) :mrgreen:

P.S I clicked it :roll:

I think Oolite must get an Infinite Improbability Drive OXP, whereby ships can turn into petunias, etc. - or, more likely, something bizarre happens to your own ship. I am unsure I've got the skill to code that; but I'd love it. Volunteers?

Ah yes, and impressive that OXP was too.

But what I was thinking of, though, was something that had the side-effects of an Infinite Improbability Drive, i.e. turning ships into cupcakes, sort of thing. Actually, I am working on that. I might have to call it an 'Infinite Improbability Unit', or something like that, since it won't actually be a drive, i.e. won't be used for travel.

I am thinking of making it require tea from the teaMaker OXP.

Downloaded, and am now sipping a cup of freshly-brewed Laceteed Hyper-Breakfast while listening to cool tunes on the ol' Hyperradio en route to Rienla... :-)

There's a thought - perhaps the tea-maker could select random tea varieties, or teas could be manually-selectable items?

I've just re-branded this as Cup of Tea OXP. No changes, just a new name. :)
